Follow the “Science,” They Say
Victor Davis Hanson // American Greatness Throughout the Trump years and in particular during the 2020 COVID pandemic crisis, the nation was lectured by the Left “to follow the data,” as the Democrats proclaimed themselves the “party of science.” As sober and judicious children of the enlightenment, they alone offered the necessary disinterested correctives to […]
Diplomatic Lessons?
Victor Davis Hanson // Private Papers A forty-something inexperienced JFK in June 1961 was clobbered at the Vienna summit by Nikita Khrushchev—and learned the USSR interpreted magnanimity and earnestness as weakness to be exploited not reciprocated.

Who Is Our Military’s Enemy?

Domestic Disorder and International Credibility Please read a new essay by my colleague, Mark Moyar in Strategika. George Floyd’s death on May 25, 2020 at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer triggered allegations that his fate exposed a much broader problem of racism in American law enforcement and American society more generally. As this […]
The Legends of Our Fall
Victor Davis Hanson // American Greatness Many politicians at one point or another live by lies—if they can get away with them. Our supposed sentinels, the media—self-defined as independent, cynical, and skeptical journalists—are supposed to separate political fictions from truth. Legends As Facts Of course, sometimes they used to do that—if only selectively. There were […]
The Progressive Imaginarium
Victor Davis Hanson // American Greatness “T-Bone” lives in the progressive Imaginarium. Senator Cory Booker (D-N.J.) conjured him up as his fake pal from the ’hood.
